I have been very busy lately with the new collaborative effort, of which I am part, Flash Flood. We have just launched Issue 2. This issue includes interviews and works with David Bram, Jason Fulford and Holly Roberts from New Mexico and a showcase of images by Sheilah Wilson. I hope to be back to this blog soon with new interviews. In the meantime, check out Flash Flood.

Critical Mass Top 50: My Top Picks

There were over 200 people from varying backgrounds judging the second round of work submitted to Critical Mass this year so the picks were spread far and wide. I would like to add my opinions about some of the artist who did not make it to the top 50. Here is a list of my favorites:

Erica Allen

(not in the top 50,... but fantastic!!)

Tony Chirinos (not on the top 50)

Susan Worsham (not on the top 50)

These photographers made it in the top 50:

Jenn Ackerman

Simone Lueck

Phillip Toledano

Alejandro Cartagena
